For about 30 seconds, I actually had someone convinced today that we were having a great blue heron for Thanksgiving.
I was able to summon preparation and cooking instructions effortlessly, including straight-faced, convincing-sounding details. I told a great story of the first time I ever tried it, and what the meat is like. I am so full of shit.

That sort of behavior out of you and the seemingly effortless way you summon such stories – is one of the few things I miss about working over there, man.
Never lose the ability to be absolutely full of shit.

Very kind, Carey. Thank you!
I am glad someone besides me falls for your BS stories 🙂 Love you
OMG – My husband said the exact same thing as he was looking out over the lake in the backyard. It was too funny!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
